its actually a good idea for a beginner! as everyone said you did kinda overscope the project and thats just fine, infact everyone does! what matters is that you are able to implement needed features before adding features that will make the gameplay more interesting!

Overscoped is for every one, be it beginner or expert lot of people tend to overscope. We did overscope in our game too, but we are better off since we could implement what we need, better luck next time with time manaement, you still manage to submit something that work and is actually a good concept with the chemisty and RGB color.

A bit rough like having to move the test tube one by one since the inventory got only one slot, or a bit of lack of shader/animation. For exemple you could use tweens to move the visual tube around. It just would add a bit more to the feeling of being an alchemist moving tube around. But it’s mostly for game feel. Good job on your first release
